Options to exchange pension for lump sumN.I.

General option to exchange part of pension for lump sumN.I.

185.—(1) A member, [F1(other than a pension credit member whose rights under [F2this Section of] the Scheme are attributable to a disqualifying pension credit for the purpose of paragraph 2 of Schedule 29 to the Finance Act 2004 )] may opt to exchange part of a pension to which the member would otherwise be entitled for a lump sum.

(2) If a member so opts, for every £1 by which the member's annual amount of a pension is reduced, the member is to be paid a lump sum of £12.

(3) An option under paragraph (1) must relate to an annual amount of pension that is a whole number of pounds (and accordingly the lump sum will be exactly divisible by 12).

(4) In paragraphs (2) and (3) “annual amount”, in relation to a pension, means the amount of the annual pension to which the member would be entitled under this Chapter apart from the option, together with any increases payable under the Pensions (Increase) Act (Northern Ireland) 1971, calculated as at the time payment would first be due.

(5) A member may not exchange pension for lump sum under this regulation to the extent that it would result in a scheme chargeable payment for the purposes of Part 4 of the Finance Act 2004 (see, in particular, section 241 of, and paragraph 1 of Schedule 29 to, that Act).

(6) If the member has a guaranteed minimum under section 10 of the 1993 Act in relation to the whole or part of a pension, paragraph (1) only applies to so much of the pension as exceeds that guaranteed minimum, multiplied by such factor as is indicated for a person of the member's description in tables provided by the Scheme actuary.

(7) The option under this regulation may only be exercised by giving notice in writing to the Department in such form as it requires—

(a)at the time of claiming the pension, or

(b)before such later time as the Department specifies in writing.

[F3This is subject to paragraphs (8) and (9).]

[F4(8) If the pension is an ill-health pension under regulation 182, the option under this regulation may only be exercised by giving notice in writing to the Department in such form as it requires—

(a)where the member is awarded—

(i)a tier 1 ill-health pension under paragraph (2) of that regulation, at the time of claiming that tier 1 ill-health pension,

(ii)a tier 2 ill-health pension under paragraph (3) of that regulation, at the time of claiming that tier 2 ill-health pension; or

(b)before such later time as the Department specifies in writing.

(9) If the pension is a tier 2 ill-health pension under regulation 183, in substitution for a tier 1 ill-health pension under regulation 182, the option under this regulation may only be exercised—

(a)in relation to the difference between the tier 1 ill-health pension that ceases to be payable in accordance with paragraph (3) of regulation 183 and the tier 2 ill-health pension to which the member becomes entitled under that paragraph; and

(b)by giving notice in writing to the Department in such form as it requires—

(i)at the time of award of the tier 2 ill-health pension under that paragraph, or

(ii)before such later time as the Department specifies in writing.]

[F5(10) In the case of a 2008 Section Optant, this regulation is subject to paragraph (4) of regulation 260H and regulation 260K.]

(d)184 (early retirement on ill-health (deferred members)).

(3) The option may only be exercised—

(a)in the case of a pension payable under regulation 176 or 177, before or at the time when the pension becomes payable,

(4) An active member [F7or a non-contributing member] aged 65 or over who exercises the option is to be paid, as soon as is reasonably practicable F8..., an amount equal to the sum of—

(a)the maximum lump sum to which the member could have become entitled on exercising the option under regulation 185 if at the appropriate time the member had become entitled to a pension under regulation 176, and

(b)the total annual amount of the pension to which the member would have been entitled under regulation 176 after exercising that option, multiplied by 5.

[F9(5) A pension credit member who exercises the option is to be paid, as soon as reasonably practicable F8..., an amount equal to the sum of—

(a)the maximum lump sum (if any) to which the pension credit member could have become entitled on exercising the option under regulation 185 at the appropriate time; and

(b)the total annual amount of the pension to which the pension credit member is entitled under regulation 177 after exercising that option, multiplied by 5.]

(6) An active member [F10or a non-contributing member] entitled to a pension under regulation 182 who exercises the option is to be paid, as soon as is reasonably practicable, an amount equal to the sum of—

(a)the maximum lump sum to which the member could have become entitled on exercising the option under regulation 185 at the appropriate time, and

(b)the total annual amount of the pension to which the member is entitled under regulation 182 after exercising that option, multiplied by 5.

(7) A deferred member entitled to a pension under regulation 184 who exercises the option is to be paid, as soon as is reasonably practicable, an amount equal to the sum of—

(a)the maximum lump sum to which the member could have become entitled on exercising the option under regulation 185 at the appropriate time, and

(b)the total annual amount of the pension to which the member is entitled under regulation 184 after exercising that option, multiplied by 5.

(8) In this regulation “the appropriate time” means—

(a)for the purposes of paragraphs (4) and (5) the time when the option under this regulation is exercised, and

(b)for the purposes of paragraphs (6) and (7) the time payment of the pension under regulation 182 or, as the case may be, regulation 184 would otherwise first be due.

(9) In this regulation references to the “annual amount” of a pension are to the amount of the annual pension to which the member would be entitled, together with any increases payable under the Pensions (Increase) Act (Northern Ireland) 1971, calculated as at the appropriate time.

(10) The option under this regulation may only be exercised by notice in writing to the Department in such form as the Department requires.
